Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 527 Shri Hakini rupa dharini (ōṃ hākinīrūpadhāriṇyai namaḥ)

 Namams 475 to 534 represent the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms. 

The Divine Mother’s Representative Hakini yogin residing in the Ajna cakra pericarp in two-petaled lotus was described in earlier six Namams. 

Purity is identified by white colour; Hakini Devi is meditated white in colour, four handed is seated in Ajna chakra between two eyebrows. In Ajna chakra Hakini Devi is surrounded and attended by Hamsavati and Kshamavati Devis; She is residing in there. She is presiding over Majja; She is whitish in colour, with six-faces, fond of yellow turmeric mixed rice food. After saying that I pray to her, touching the forehead is customary. Jnanamudra, drum, Akshamala and skull in Her four arms are Her weapons, three eye, She provides all the desires for the devotees. 

She is holding Jnana mudra; it shows that She is the origin of Knowledge. To show all the sound originates from Her, She is holding a drum in another hand. She holds Akshamala in another hand; Aksham represents the eyes. Rudrasa came out of Lord Shiva’s eye as mercy drops. The Divine Mother indicates that She is known as Karunarasasagara by holding that, Akshamala. In Her fourth hand She is holding a skull to indicate that for the living being She is the starting and ending point. The humans should learn to accept the birth and death in the same sense; the one who has that mindset is good devotee to the Divine mother. With such meanings, Hakini Devi is seated in sixth and key Ajna chakra.

               The Hakini Devi is in Ajna cakra representing The Divine mother .
